ABOUT US

The University Housing and Accommodation Center (P3U) was formerly known as the University Housing and Accommodation Unit (UPPU) which was established on 1 October 1998. The establishment of the UPPU was after the merger of several Desasiswa and was responsible for coordinating matters related to accommodation and housing with the Desasiswa. UPPU is placed together with the Deputy Vice-Chancellor of Student Affairs and Development (HEPP).
In June 2009, the Student Affairs and Development Division (BHEPP) went through a transformation process and UPPU was placed under the BHEPP Service Sector. UPPU offices were also open at each BHEPP Engineering Campus and Health Campus.

In 2015 and 2016, there was another merger of Desasiswa. After research and discussion, the University through the University Management Committee (JKPU) at the 81st JKPU Meeting No. 16/2016 (excerpt from minutes 789.0) has agreed that UPPU be transformed into a University Housing and Accommodation Center (P3U) in accordance with the latest development and role of generating income of the Scholarship Center Fund.

There are three hostels in the Engineering Campus: Desasiswa Lembaran, Desasiswa Jaya, and Desasiswa Utama. The engineering campus can house up to 2626 students in 7 blocks, accounting for 63 percent of students.

All of the hostels accommodate students in single, double, or triple rooms. Each block has a sickbay for emergency use. The room has an attached bathroom and is accessible to those with disabilities. All rooms are fully furnished with beds, wardrobes, study desks, internet connection, table lamps and fans. Each block has a study/discussion room, TV room, prayer room, pantry (with kettle and iron), and a common square patio for students to engage in small group activities. For students who need to meet, a big air-conditioned study area is available on the bottom level of the building at SH1 and Desasiswa Utama.

Starting in the middle of this semester, students on this campus will be experiencing a new laundry service that will use the latest payment method. These new machines are estimated to be operated in early December 2022. An additional number of new machines will be added to all seven blocks. This newly added facility with new technology will surely ease students’ daily life.

In addition to that, there are newly upgraded hostel rooms with 58 capacities located on Level 1 of Desasiswa Jaya and Desasiswa Lembaran. 15 rooms that can accommodate 29 male students are located at SH6, with a similar number of rooms and beds for female students located at SH3. These rooms, named Bilik Eksekutif, was launched and rented out from December 2022.

Each block has a principal/assistant principal who is available and on duty 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. During holidays, the principal/assistant principals who live near to the hostel blocks are always present and willing to assist students as needed. The Manager of HAC oversees the entire hostel office.
